Key Background

Women’s Executive Network (WXN) names Canada’s Most Powerful Women annually by celebrating women leaders as being committed, innovative, and successful. Two remarkable entrepreneurs of Colchester County have been listed among Canada’s most powerful women this year.

One such is Jane Doe, chief executive officer of InnovateTech Solutions, a Truro company with expertise in green energy technologies. Throughout her time in office, the company has created innovative solutions that have aimed at reducing carbon emissions and going green. Her work has made InnovateTech the leader in green technology, with its offerings being recognized throughout the country. Doe’s work has also led the charge in advancing young women into the STEM industry, fostering innovation and diversity within the field.

The second beneficiary is Mary Smith, owner of Smith’s Organic Farms. She is a believer in sustainable farming and is a keen supporter of Colchester County. Mary Smith promoted sustainable agriculture, giving the community fresh fruits and vegetables without chemicals. The farm is all for sustainability in its produce; the fruits and vegetables that it grows are of good quality to sell to restaurants and supermarkets. She empowered the fellow farmers by running campaigns and organizing training workshops in such a manner that the cultivation practices became sustainable, hence sustainable agriculture becomes way of life.

Both Smith and Doe are inspirations of creativity, leadership, and determination in their own fields. Their WXN award is a source of pride for future women business leaders to emulate and proof of the increase in women’s influence in the business world. In a rapidly embracing Canada on diversity and inclusion in leadership, their achievement marks a milestone on the integration of women in heretofore male-dominated professions.

Their achievement not only signified the significance of women’s work towards being economically successful but also set a trend for generations to come for women to be successful entrepreneurs and business entrepreneurs.
